Being a Trauma Team Leader

About the podcast

We take a look at what it is to be a Trauma Team Leader and how we can go about fulfilling that role. Lou Mitchell, David McConnell and Tony Kehoe join Tim Nutbeam to provide a true expert panel with a wealth of experience in the management of trauma teams.

Pulling from extensive experience across trauma units and MTCs in the UK and abroad, along with deployments with the British Armed Forces, the team discuss different styles of leadership, experience vs. expertise and how we train our future TTLs.

Though this is aimed at TTLs, a lot of the topics discussed are very relevant to all members of the trauma team. This podcast, along with our Human Performance podcast with Clare Bosanko (linked below) supports a lot of the non-technical skills contained within the level 1 and 2 Major Trauma Nursing competencies. Make sure to give them both a listen!

Being a TTL: Expert Experience – ThePTN podcast

Tim is joined by Lou Mitchell, David McConnell and Tony Kehoe to discuss all things leadership in trauma. Bringing experience from the entire range of trauma care, from pre-hospital, trauma units and MTCs, with the added extra of extensive experience with the Royal Navy and British armed forces in locations including Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. Topics include developing leadership and a leadership style, how we go about training our future leaders and how the vast majority of leadership (in trauma) is developed away from the resus bay and from the trauma call!
